Rotating pill dispenser fully 3d printed

Hello guys
I had this idea of this model after printing a regular box pill organizer and thinking to myself I could make something more original. I'm sure it has already been done before but I like doing things myself.

This print has a locking mechanism that allows you to easily lift the top cover off to refill with meds at the end of the week. Just lift/wiggle the top cover to take it off once you arrived at the last slot.  You can also refill it by rotating the knob for each day.

As a right handed, I prefer using the clockwise version but I think you should test it out.

The days in this version are in french so you'll have to customize it to your language. I let the days in the model so you have an idea on how it works so you can adapt it easily. Feel free to change the order of the days. The last day has to be the one allowing the mechanism to open. For example, in the 3d file, the last day is the Di so exchange this day by the one you want to be the day you refill your pills. If you print the counter clockwise version, exchange the Lu day by your refill day.

So when you have all the parts printed, all that is left to do is to use glue to lock the spring in its position into the “body” part and also glue the “knob” part to the top cover part (look at the CAD pictures). Other than that, you can use sharpie on the letters or print it in another color but I'll let you tinker yourself ;)

!!! I am in no way a medical professional. PLA is food safe but I would consider asking the person prescribing you the pills if you have any doubt before using this !!!
